CHAPTER 4. SHORT RANGE SMOKE DETECTION IN VIDEO 66the contour of the moving region defined by the car lights does not possess highfrequency characteristics as in a smoke region.Proposed smoke detection method, Method-4.1, is also compared with the firedetection method presented in [87], Method-4.3, in videos containing both smokeand flame. The comparison results in some of the test sequences are presentedin Table 4.2. At the early stages of fire, smoke is released before flames becomevisible. Method-4.1 successfully detects smoke in such situations earlier thanMethod-4.3. Hence, early detection of fire is possible with the proposed smokedetection method. In Movies 11 and 12, flames are not in the viewing range ofthe camera. A fire detection system without smoke detection capability fails indetecting the fire before it spread around.Table 4.1: <strong>Detection</strong> results of Method-4.1 and Method-4.2 for some live andoff-line videos.Number of ShotsVideo Number of shots detected as Smoke DescriptionSequences with smoke Method-4.1 Method-4.2Movie 1 0 0 0 Smoke-colored parking carMovie 2 5 5 5 <strong>Fire</strong> in a gardenMovie 3 5 5 5 <strong>Fire</strong> in a garden in snowMovie 4 7 7 7 A burning boxMovie 5 6 6 6 A burning pile of woodsMovie 6 3 3 3 <strong>Fire</strong> in a waste-bin in the gardenmonitored from an indoor cameraMovie 7 0 0 0 Three men walking in a roomMovie 8 8 8 8 <strong>Fire</strong> in a gardenMovie 9 0 0 1 A parking car in the night4.4 SummaryIn this chapter, a novel method for detecting short range smoke in visible rangevideo is developed. The algorithm is mainly based on determining the edgeregions whose wavelet sub-band energies decrease with time and wavelet based
